"An N64 update I'd love to see..."

Shadowman.

Dark, brooding, atmospheric, downright violent, this game offered a brilliant alternative to the likes of Mario and Banjo (which also ruled). A Gamecube version of this game would be brilliant - the N64 version had me hooked for weeks, with a gripping storyline, labyrinithine levels, devilish enemies complete with lashings of blood. Add to that a psychological twist and some of the most inventive bosses and it made for one helluva platformer.

I looked at Shadowman: 2econd Coming (I winced writing '2econd') for Playstation 2, but from the reviews I read, they weren't exactly glowing. I remember reading in N64 (now NGC) that a Shadowman GC game was on the cards, then all talk of it suddenly disappeared. In my view, they should ressurect what was a burgeoning franchise, and add some healthy competition to the likes of Resi and Eternal Darkness.

Thoughts?

I completed the third level on easy and the game told me to get the other two levels I needed to complete the game on hard, noooo! It took me ages to.

I started again but by the time I hit level two I couldn't be bothered.

Three words:


Sin and Punishment

Pilotwings GC would be great.

ashman i dunno how but i completed 007 mode in goldeneye and i was only 10 yrs old but i think i did it by just running through the game

shadow man was a brill game, always did like it, and yes it would be great if it came out on GC. Think of the graphics!

Grrr.

I got to the first USA level.

Impossible.

Gave up. :D

I have Body Harvest. Never finished it though... Got to Russia, but I kept dying in the first 'level' of Russia. And I gave up. I may go back to it at some point. I saw screenshots of the final asteroid level and it looked amazing.

I still have cravings for Shadowman, even though playing it was like torture.

On the contrary, I found it more immersive the further I progressed.

So gerrid DOES have taste.
